    and my heart is wounded within me.
²³ I fade away like an evening shadow;^(A)
    I am shaken off like a locust.
²⁴ My knees give^(B) way from fasting;^(C)
    my body is thin and gaunt.^(D)
25 I am an object of scorn^(E) to my accusers;
    when they see me, they shake their heads.^(F)

²⁶ Help me,^(G) Lord my God;
    save me according to your unfailing love.

³¹ For he stands at the right hand^(A) of the needy,
    to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
